You will need to have a wireless router as it is needed for uploading files to the iPhone via SFTP. If you do not have a wireless router then you can download iBrickr and use it to send files to the iPhone via USB.

Let’s get started shall we?

The first thing that you will want to do is upgrade your phone to version 1.1.1 if it’s not already at that version. Please note that if you currently have a 1.0.2 phone which was SIM unlocked with anySIM 1.0.2 then you will first have to use the revirginization method available by clicking here before continuing with upgrading to 1.1.1 firmware.

Next we will need to jailbreak the iPhone so that we have full read/write access to the filesystem. The following process will also patch lockdownd which will allow us to bypass the AT&T activation screen.

If it doesn’t complete some tasks then run it through again. If after running it through several times it’s still not working then restore your phone and start from scratch. In my experience it may take a few tries before it works.

CARNAVAL is the best jailbreak method that I have found for Windows. It takes care of the jailbreaking and activation. It also patches springboard and youtube. Finally, it installs AppTap to the phone.

Before continuing make sure that youtube works and that AppTap (Installer.app) has been successfully installed on the phone.

Open the installer on the iPhone and upgrade it to the latest version (Installer 3). After it is upgraded use the following steps to SIM unlock your iPhone for use with any carrier.

Install OpenSSH and the BSD Subsystem via the AppTap installer (accessible from the iPhone’s main menu).
